What people are saying about Kimberley, Australia

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The driver and guide (Lisa) for my tour is most friendly, approachable, knowlegable, and professional. She promptly drove the bus to our hotel for the morning pickup - and she gave excellent commentary during the trip. The activities are very enjoyable and well-organised. This included the wildlife habitat visit (with included morning tea), guided rainforest leisure walk, included lunch at a nice safe water-hole, included local ice-cream eating at an ice-creamery, and hour-long Daintree boat ride - where we actually spotted small crocodiles in their natural habitat in the Daintree river. We were well looked after. And the food/lunch was excellent.

The rainforest is sensational. But without the guide Gary we would have seen almost nothing, because we simply lack the trained eye. We saw many animals (from gecko to fish, even crocodiles to spiders). Gary showed us how to create color with two stones, which the natives use to protect themselves from the sun, for example. Interesting facts about plants and fruits as well as the existing dangers of one or the other species made the day unforgettable. At any time we can only recommend this tour - Andrea and Martin

OMFG moments the entire day! Rob was our tour guide & is an absolute LEGEND! So much knowledge, fun and he even help capture some epic photos. You will not be disappointed.

It was a great day trip, the small size of the group was really good, everyone could hear when the guide spoke.

Fantastic experience, the guide was so knowledgeable and very entertaining.
